Just feels good to be excited for a change.
Same way man, ive watched every Bengals game for the last 15 years but the last couple years I feel like I have been mentally checked out.
New coaches last year and the top QB prospect this year have me hopeful, an active free agency would really top it all off but I know thats not likely.
Lets hope for a great game without an injury for Burrow.
What I want to see to remove the doubt in others' minds:
- NO INJURY!!!!
- 65% completion percentage
- 300+ passing yards
- More TDs than turnovers
- Ideally winning but especially not losing because of him
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
What I'm looking for from this game:
Joe Burrow throwing 4 TDs to break the NCAA single season TD record.
Joe Burrow throwing for 625 yards to break the NCAA single season yards record (won't happen. Still want it to though.)
Throw for better than 25/39 (64.1%) to break the NCAA single season accuracy record
If he makes more crazy plays while doing those three (but really, just the 1st and 3rd ones), then that's just gravy.

He better his head straight real quick now. And goetta too.

I want to see that he stayed focused on the game and is prepared, not overweight and lost on the field because he spent too much time at the buffet on the awards circuit.
